Chapter 134

[Shota Aizawa]

He was no stranger to failures, not really.

As a hero, one was bound to fail. Not even the most powerful, most impressive heroes succeeded all the time. Eventually, you would be late to a site. At some point, you’d have to choose the least shitty of two options and someone else would probably be the one to pay the ...

The Darkness That You Know

“What do I need to do?” she asked, looking at the now open door with a flat expression. If he weren’t absolutely terrified out of his mind and Ophis weren’t there threatening his life and Yasaka’s and maybe everyone else’s, Joshua would have found the sight funny, maybe even cute. As it was, he just felt a stab of panic at the possib...

[Toru Hagakure]

How had they gone from the peace and quiet of the forest to…

To a warzone?!

She didn’t know, she didn’t want to know, not really. What she wanted was for it all to end already. She wanted to stop seeing blue fire and copies of the same villains. She wanted to stop seeing disturbing blad...

Every Day like It’s the Last

28th day after Ophis visit.

Joshua was, quite frankly, panicking a little. He would not put it past Ophis to take the shortest possible month as the measure of time for their deal. The dragon struck him as a weird mix of patient and impatient in regards to what she wanted, which meant that she’d wait, but only as long as str...

Query: More Content

Hey guys, how’s it going?

I know it's weird of me to post something that’s not a chapter. I think I’ve done this like, twice, and it’s weird for me too, I’ll admit.

However, I’ve been thinking about stuff (dangerous, let me tell you) and I have some ideas I wanted to run past you. The core of it all is a desire to write more (it’s actually to get more Validation, becau...

Kazuki’s brain felt like it was him that got hit and not the bus. It was so sudden, that he had no way to process the influx of emotions. Not even the press fiasco back at UA had been like that, because yes,...

You Hold on to What You Believe In

Surprisingly, the days passed without really increasing Joshua’s fear and nerves through the latter days of the month he had to work with.

Sure, he was afraid and nervous, but he didn’t get more so as time went by and the approximate time for Ophis to come knocking drew closer. He’d expected to grow more of ...

Chapter 131

People say that times fly when you’re having a good time.

Kazuki had found that time flew no matter what, really. Sure, it might seem like it went slower when you were having a bad time, but after the fact? After all was said and done, you would look back and realize that time flew then too. Because looking back felt like that, like a...

All the Hate That’s Inside Me

“Do I want to know why you need a… test subject, Joshua?” Yasaka asked with a raised eyebrow when, during a pre-Khaos meeting, he told them that he needed someone especially bad from whatever Khaos raid their alliance organized. Not the first time he did so, but it was the first time he wasn’t looking for them himself… for obvious...

[Momo Yaoyorozu]

The school trip was not going as she’d hoped.

Granted, that started all the way before they even got on the buses, when they were told about the change in plans. However, she’d held hope still that maybe things weren’t going to be so bad. Training with her friends in the facilities at UA was very fun...

In a While Now I Will Feel Better

Normally, when Joshua went to his cafe, he sat in a corner and focused on what he was supposed to be doing. Nobody really bothered him, since nobody really knew him. Sure, some Kuoh students and tangentially related people had seen him and they knew he existed, but none of them knew him, not really. Even the cli...

Chapter 129

‘What was that?’ Kazuki thought to himself the next day. ‘Why can’t I get that feeling back?’ he wondered, more than a little frustrated, which probably didn’t help.

After the bout of calm that he’d gone through before, he’d asked – and Aizawa had agreed – for some time to try and get into that mindset again. His con...

Running with No Brakes

[Joshua Davis]

“I feel like I sucked more than usual,” Joshua commented, only for Serafall to splash some of her water on her hand and then on his face. He twitched at that, but other than that he only gave the devil a flat stare. In hindsight though, maybe he should have seen that one coming.

“I’d really like to explore this place,” he commented looking at the small lake – or was it called a pond at that point? – in front of him. He’d been led there through the forest for him to be able to create his new Grimm. It truly only made him want to see more of the woods and the area in general. Sadly, he hadn’t had much of a chance to sights...

Wanting It All, but It’s Never Enough

‘Two weeks gone, two weeks left.’

Those words kept repeating in Joshua’s mind from the moment he woke up. Hell, they’d haunted him since the moment he went to sleep the previous night, barely letting him rest. His eyelids felt heavy, but they had nothing on the weight he felt on his shoulders. He went through ...

“Can I try?” Kota asked and Kazuki almost physically recoiled.

The idea of giving his violin to someone else was just… no, absolutely not going to happen. Over his cold, dead body. Call him dramatic, but that one instrument meant a lot to him, more than he could put into words. It was more than just a gift, which was already greatly important as fa...

“Why do I feel the need to punch this guy in the face?” Issei asked and Joshua raised an eyebrow, following the boy’s finger as he pointed at Kokabiel.

[Kazuki Endo]

He kind of wished he could work out in the mornings more often.

That day, his training was in Quirkless combat with Tiger, and the physical strain was… nice, in a way. He might be a bit of a morning person – at least when compared to others – but his brain always felt sluggish all the same for a few hours after ...
